Description: From the fisherman’s ship to the Granville Street strip – here, the seafood is as fresh as the crowd. So roll up your sleeves, tie on a bib, grab a mallet and dig in – The Fish Shack has arrived.

Situated just few minutes away from main shopping area restaurant looked great modern with subtle nautical theme. Met with a warm welcome the service was excellent. I opted for the lobster tacos which were very nice and my better half went for the fish and chips. The sticky toffee pudding was to die for and overall the meal was very good. Value wise it was ok but a little expensive for what you get.

We passed up on my favourite Granville Street restaurant, Roxy Burger, to try something new and came across the funky Fish Shack with a special on oysters. We were attracted by the jalapeno corn bread and the Fish Shack salad and decided to stop in between sets of the Jazz Festival. We ordered the corn bread and the salad to share while others seemed to be enjoying the oysters. We received our items and dove into the corn bread - OMG it was the worst thing I have ever been served in a restaurant. How old could it have been? I have saved baked goods in my house for almost a week that tasted way better than this. The frozen solid butter did nothing to help the taste. Then we discovered a twist tie in our salad - really? Anyway when we told our waitress, she did offer another salad which we declined. She came back with an offer of a complimentary dessert. Well, okay. The salad was absolutely tasteless although the calamari was okay. I let my husband have the fish; the prawns were edible. At this point, the highlight was my beer. We were asked twice if we were finished and could she bring the bill - this was confusing as she had offered the dessert. She brought the bill and we noticed this was part of the Glowbal Group of restaurants - now there's no excuse for serving food that was this terrible. Then our complimentary dessert arrived - by the way, we were not offered a choice. The sticky toffee pudding was a soggy mess of a white cake swimming in two cups of improperly thickened caramel sauce with way too much whipping cream used to cover up the mess and thawed berries? on top. I told the waitress that this dessert should not be served - let alone to try to make up for foreign objects in your salad. All and all a complete disaster and certainly not worth a penny let alone the $25 paid. DO NOT GO HERE. Stick with a reliable friend - Roxy Burger.

I have a friend who is celiac so we went to try the gluten free fish and chips.Since I am not I was able to sample both and they were good. The gluten free option was actually lighter and less oily than the regular batter.The children had the fish tacos and enjoyed them. Good food, a little pricey. 22$ for 2 pieces of halibut and chips with a side of very bland coleslaw.Many places in the city offer a finer dining option than this for cheaper.What we did not enjoy was the fishy smell that permeated the dining area upstairs every time staff went into the cooler to retreive an item. Very fresh fish does not smell fishy... so folks at the fish shack , time to clean your cooler

4 of us went to eat there thinking we were going to have an amazing sea food dinner. The first thing we did was ordered cocktails. My husband and our friend had beer, not bad. We asked for their special tequila margarita. What a horrible thing. It was just lemonade with I guess their tequila. Really really bad , we couldn't drink it. Asked the girl for another drink, it was worse and I mean soo bad we couldn't drink it either. The soup was good and the oysters but the fish was horrible. Dud I said fish? Sorry, it came fried, looking like a cocoon made if greasy crispy dough and when it cracked there was hardly any fish inside. Very disappointing We are the French fries. If you are looking for a good sea food place avoid this one
